Sound Art Brighton Festival is a city-wide programme of events presenting sound installations, sound sculptures, interactive sound events, performances, sound walks, audio and audiovisual works, both in galleries and outdoors, throughout the city of Brighton and Hove (UK).
Combining local sound art talents with international guests, the festival celebrates the diversity and range of this broad and hybrid art practice and pays hommage to the multitude of sounds to be found in our city – with the Downs on one side and the sea on the other, as part of a UNESCO biosphere.
Join us for our Launch Party on March 4 2022 at Brighton CCA 17.00–19.00
